Dr. Raje emphasizes that sustained GDP growth alone is insufficient unless it is accompanied by deep reforms in education, health, and labor markets.With the urgency of a ticking clock and the promise of a demographic dividend, the talk presents a multi-pronged strategy: harness digital public infrastructure, close skill gaps, invest in children and youth, ride the wave of AI responsibly, and promote inclusive growth. While acknowledging the threats of automation and AI-induced job loss, Dr. Raje remains optimistic—arguing that if India acts decisively and inclusively, it can master these disruptions and emerge stronger.Her message is clear: the path to becoming a developed nation isn’t automatic—it demands collective effort, bold policy action, and a societal mindset that says, “It is faster than you think.” India’s moment is now.
